Question: Do You Use Feminine Wash Products?

1. Nikki July 15, 2009 1:52 am

   I use Lactacyd and I use it daily! I can’t really say that it works so well or it doesn’t, as I do feel the “clean feeling” down there but I can’t say it changes the situation down there, you know what I mean? I just use it “Just to make sure” !

   i tried 3 brands by far

   i know one is lactogyn (recommended by my doctor) and eve (my mum gave it to me, i prefer lactogyn and another brand). i know the other brand sounds like lactogyn but cant seem to recall the name.

   i heard douching can irritate your vagina. i dont dare try that but apprently washing too frequent with feminine wash isnt good as well.

   i used to till my husband told me it’s not a good practice in terms of medical point of view. He explained how these products reduce our body’s natural protection against bacterias and etc. so best thing is just the plain old water. and that’s what i use now. been like that for years.

   I’m not particular on brand. not even sure if they work… I just use them cuz they’re there. I’ve switched between Lactacyd and Eve.

   Plain water…i don’t believe in using in any wash products as they contain chemicals and might do worst than good. Rather do it the natural way with water. Dampen your tissue with water and wipe after every pee does the trick…HTH

   I use Lactacyd! Hmmm… i guess i’m using it out of habit and would probably feel weird without using it! Don’t think it makes a difference though…

   Just ol’ plain water. I think that’s the safest and the best!

   just plain water =]

   because i heard many ppl said that most products have harmful chemicals. Even though the products say its gentle for women, over time the chemical will built up around the area and may trigger rashes/irritation/ovarian cancer =[

   any organic product that may help?

   I tried a few brands but I usually stick to just water. I think that’s safest.

    I used to use Eve & a couple of other brands but I thought they were just a little too expensive. About 3 years ago I switched to using baby bath, you can use pretty much any brand. It’s a lot cheaper, & you get a big bottle.

    Yes definitely! The pH ‘down there’ is different from the rest of the body, too much alkali from common soap will disrupt the ‘wellbeing’ of the fragile area, on a worst case scenario one will be at risk for yeast infection and various whatevers *gross* Ideally the cleanser should have a pH of 3.5 – 4.5 to support the natural acidic environment of the nether regions. I’ve tried many brands; Lactacyd, Summer’s Eve etc but my current staying brand is Eubos, they seem like the leading brand for the sensitive skin / dermatological segment. I think most reputable fem-wash brands are good, as long the pH is correct.

    Hey!
    It’s like you’ve read my mind or something.. I’ve been contemplating if I should get one as well… I’ve seen some in Pulse and Safeway QV… Haven’t been down to Priceline to check it out ><''' But yes! Do blog once you've decided on one and I'll be sure to find out more and inform you if I've got any info about it.

    Cheerrssss!!!~

    i’m now using Eubos too. this is my first time trying and i do feel “fresh” down there. just a little bit each time when you shower will do.

    Hey,
    few months ago, I fealt a bit disturb down there and didn’t really know why. i didn’t done anything diffrent on daily basis but it started to bother me. I asked a doctor friend and she reffered to read some articles on this issue and during that process, i kept reading and reading and found out a lot of information that i wasn’t so aware off. I mean moms not always talked with us about it and we even don’t talk with our closest friends about it. it’s not an easy topic to discuss and a bit gorss….. if you think about it better. while reading, I realized that many women’s don’t know what is going on down there and they just prefer to live with it or go to next pharmacy to find some solution, when the solution can come just knowing about it and prevent it, by your self and it’s that simple.
    i done a bit research of my own and there are some products out there – i read information about them, even tried two and then a friend that i talked with her about this, told me that she tried a new product with a ph 3.5 which is very recommended to this area, because it keeps the natural flora of the gential area and so on and so on.. I had my doubts, but was willing to try, hi after all I read so much about it and tried other two, so why not to try another one? she reffered me to their website and there I read some more and get more curious – here are some informaiton I read there:
    Sometimes the easiest way to treat a yeast infection is to stop it before it starts
    Methods of preventing yeast infections include:
    Wearing cotton underwear instead of synthetic fabrics that don’t breathe as well
    Changing out of wet clothing and swimsuits right away
    Avoiding scented feminine products and toilet paper
    Using of unscented & detergents in your genital area
    Using on daily basis a pH balanced wash for your genital area
    These tips will keep the vaginal area dry and clean, discouraging yeast from multiplying.
    this is only one of the tips. The name of the product is : Intimore and they have 4 differnet kind and it’s free pf preservatives and SLS (some chemical staff).
    I bouhgt one just to try, even it’s not that cheap, i fealt very comfortable with it, more then the other two products I tired. initially I tried the intimore classic one and then I also bought the intimore sensetive one, and this one is really helps in menstrual period with all irritation from the pads and so on.
    i am babbling too much. I just wanted to share the knowelege and my experience. hope i helped.
    Good luck with your article.

    I use Pink Kitti Untouched wash regularly…it is soap free and organic.
    Yin Care Herbal wash only when I am on my period.
    Briefly use the “Jamu” soap. Love the smell, but I don’t use it very often.
    Had a bad experience with the following products:
    Massengil
    Summer’s Eve
    Vagisil Talc Free Powder
    Always Wipes
    Playtex Wipes

    Before bed, i just wash with 100% aloe vera gel and water. Changed to natural pads and pantyliners. It’s really helped.
